More mm's Would Have Been Nice

This was one of those moments that I needed a lot more millimetres on my camera. This photo was made with the Fuji 55-200mm x-mount lens (@200mm).

The moon @200mm (or 300mm @ 35mm equivalent)

A 600mm or 800mm would have been nicer, but also a little more expensive.

Park Hoge-Veluwe Photo Meet

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Park Hoge-Veluwe for a photo/gear meet. The meet was organised by the (or at least one of the) biggest geek/tech fora in the Netherlands. Here are some photos of that day.

The photos were taken with my Leica M9 + Leica 50mm Summilux Asph and the Fujifilm X-T1 + 18-55mm.

Just Apply Pressure

to wreck the SD-card slot cover of the Fujifilm X-T1. An obvious design flaw if you ask me.

Thankfully, I handle my camera with care, but I don't want to think what would happen if I applied a bit more pressure on closing the memory-card compartment.

Fujifilm X-T1 Review

My interest in Fujifilm camera's was rekindled when they released the X-Pro1. When they announced and released the X-T1 this year I had to have one. Why, because it had everything that my old Nikon D300 doesn't have;

Lighter
Smaller
More Mpix (16 versus 12)
Lighter quality lenses
Capable of mounting Leica and Nikon lenses (through the use of third party adapters).
Tilt-screen
Electronic View Finder (EVF)

So my Nikon gear went on sale, and the X-T1 with the Fujinon 18-55mm 1:2.8-4 R LM OIS kitlens found a way into my camera bag, and I skipped the Sony A7(r).
